Don't know if anyone other than myself is interested, but TAKEDA, toshiya has a site full of computer emulators, including a really cool, *small* MS-DOS emulator.
It is a single-file emulator which runs DOS EXEs directly, with no need for any subdirectories or configurations.
The download ZIP actually contains many builds, each emulating a different CPU. 32-bit and 64-bit versions are included for each emulator.
It is for Windows only (runs fine on Windows 7 Pro), and runs text-mode DOS programs with no graphics or sound.
It's a command-line program, but you can drag-and-drop an EXE file onto it to run.
I use it to make various DOS compilers and interpreters run under Win. It even works with SOME multi-file compiler suites, such as Quick C and Small C. It can be much more handy than firing up DOSBox just to quickly check something in QB or GWB.
It has a command-line switch which allows you to make a single-file Windows executable of your DOS program.
(One problem, though: Some DOS programs (e.g.QBasic) can have trouble finding a file you want to open (even though the file open dialog shows it!), so you must "take the long way" to it by navigating to the directory which holds the file.

(The site is in Japanese with a little English, but it's easy to find one's way around.)
